The Fourth Mep:ting was held on 22nd July at Felton. 

 Leaving Acklington station we at once struck into the large 

 pine wood through which runs the path to Felton. Here the 

 entomologists were soon at work beating the bushes and hunting 

 under stones and logs. At the far end of the wood a marshy 

 opening gave the botanists a busy time, some of the best 

 flowers of the day being secured here.
